Volunteer Training

Okay. Let’s say you’re a leader and your girls really really
really want to do a troop overnighter at one of the camps. Where
do you start? Well, that’s where we come in! We have a nifty home
study training to get you geared up (and certified!) for your big weekend.

Or what if you’re a brand new leader and have no clue where to even
start with a troop meeting? No worries! We've got it covered.

We have fun trainings loaded with info for all volunteers working
with girls. You'll walk away feeling confident and empowered to lead
your Girl Scouts on amazing adventures.
